September has arrived, and that means a whole new season of great books from Coach House Press. You'll want to mark you calendars for October 24 now, so you don't miss the Coach House Fall Launch at Revival in Toronto, and then brace yourself for the flurry of Coach House happenings throughout the next few months.

In preparation of a full and exciting fall season, we're having a party! All are welcome at the Coach House Open House, and we hope to see some of you enjoying yourselves as we cap off the summer at Coach House HQ. There's a truckload of other Coach House news and events for September, as well. Please read below for information about the latest award wins, events and reviews.

The September 2006 Toronto literary calendar, a monthly supplement to Word, is online. It's bursting with fantastic literary events; check it out today! Download it here. It is a supplement to the July/August Issue, which features:

• Present, future tense: Stolen by Annette Lapointe. Review by Kate Sutherland
• Many portals to alternate small-press universes: Une canadienne errante by Maggie Helwig
• Lexiconjury: the initial spells of overt wunder: Something Else by Bill Kennedy
• Drawing on / travelling through: Finding Lily: A Memoir by Richard Clewes. Review by M. Wayne Cunningham
• Where's the best place to sit at a poetry reading? Fun with 'pataphysics (Ages 1 to Ethernity) by Sharon Harris
• Garage sails, clockwise and anti-2¢: Some thoughts in, on or about the smallpress enclave. Conwenna Stokes interviews Jay MillAr.

We are pleased to have added the fall 2006 lineup for the Zinc Talk/Reading Series to our events calendar.

Mike Lorber, the series' host, writes: "Unlike other reading series around the country, the Zinc Talk/Reading Series will never feature genetically modified poets treated with bovine growth hormone. We never use antibiotics or steroids to make the poets ripen faster & we don't dilute our poets with cheap soy products or breading. Many of the readers, such as those living in large lofts in Bushwick or outside of New York altogether, could be considered free range. When you come to the Zinc-TRS, what you get are the kind of wholesome, robust poets you can feel good about feeding to your children."

The series runs (almost) every single Sunday at 6:59PM. $5 goes to the poets if you have that kind of money. If not, just bring it next time okay? Your host is Brendan Lorber, now with extra flavor packets.

Brendan Lorber is a poet and the editor/publisher of LUNGFULL!Magazine, a magazine that prints the rough draft of people's work along with the final version so you can see the process from start to finish . . . if you subscribe.

The Zinc Bar is a happening jazz dive on the edge of Soho and the West Village that hosts small-name bands and poetry evenings. Dates, reviews, and more information after the jump!

Ahadada Books, in association with West House Books and Ikuta Press, have launched an online shop designed to provide our readers in North America with the books they want at affordable prices—over 50 titles are available on-line from this new area of their website. 

The new shop was a planned extension of their site and fits with their mission to provide titles not readily available in Canada and North America. They hope this new extension serves as a valuable supplement to augment sales, support traditional sales channels and better serve regional markets.

At the moment we offer a selected number books, but before the end of this year we hope to make the additional presses and books available for purchase.

This newly revised guide lists over a hundred literary sites and bookstores in Manhattan. Visit J. D. Salinger's boyhood home, drink with the ghost of Dylan Thomas at the White Horse Tavern or leave your own mark by participating in a poetry slam at the Nuyorican Poets Café.

To receive your copy, please send a Stamped Addressed Envelope (12 X 9) with 63 cents postage to the Small Press Center, 20 West 44th Street, New York, NY 10036.
